That is only true for unsigned multiplication and signed when overflow is
undefined (-fno-wrapv which is default for C and C++).
The reason why this is middle-end and not C is because tree_expr_nonnegative_p
is part of the middle-end and not part of the C front-end. Fixing
tree_expr_nonnegative_p will also provide some optimization opertunites also.
